Chapter 309 Close call

Chapter 309 Close call　　Yu Dong nodded her head, she wasn't uncomfortable treating Lang Hui, but she did have to care about whether Lang was comfortable or not with the treatment without her permission, she wouldn't dare to treat Lang Hui in case Lang wasn't comfortable with it. 

Lang pursed her lips as she watched Yu Dong take her son's clothes off and begin the rest of his treatment. However, just as Yu Dong was taking Lang Hui's pants, they realised another problem because of the extreme bleeding the clothes were stuck to his pelvic region and were difficult to remove. 

Yu Dong nearly held her head in her hands, this was really too frustrating. The boy wasn't even given the basic first aid just what kind of hell hole did he escape from? 

His injuries were so severe, the least they could have done was to take his clothes off and change him into another set of clothing. 

" Give me another knife, a small one." said Yu Dong with another tired sigh, then she turned to Shen Li and added, " and bring another set of clean cloths, this much isn't enough."

Of course they weren't enough, taking an entire pant that was sticking to his skin. This little bit of cloth pieces wasn't enough to deal with the injuries of Lang Hui.

Shen Li acknowledged her order and then went out to get more pieces of cloth. While Yu Dong turned to Chen Mi and Fang Chi --

" We will get more medicinal paste," said Chen Mi and Fang Chi simultaneously, they could see the severity of the situation. Thus, they didn't even waste another second and rushed out to grind more herbs. 

Yu Dong rubbed her temple as she placed one hand on Lang Hui's abdomen and instilled more spiritual energy into him. The damage was too severe, even she was feeling a sense of dizziness wash over her.

She was a human after all, not a God -- it wasn't easy for her to bring someone who was almost dead to life just because she wanted to save their life. Lang Hui was practically on his last breath and what she was doing right now was no different from pouring life into a corpse. 

Shen Li returned with new pieces of cloth and Yu Dong took them from him, then turned to Shen Li and Ye Liu who were looking at her already. Then with all the seriousness, she could muster, Yu Dong turned to them. " Now, things will be even more bloody. Remember to wipe the blood carefully, or else I won't be able to see where and what I need to treat."

Shen Li and Ye Liu nodded and then the two of them picked a few pieces of cloth just as Yu Dong picked up the knife and separated the pants that were sticking to Lang Hui's skin. 

Just as she did that the blood started to gush out at once and Shen Li and Ye Liu started to wipe it as fast as they could, while Yu Dong instilled her spiritual energy in the wound temporarily stopping the treatment of his internal organs. The internal organs were almost treated, or as treated as she could treat Lang Hui at the moment. 

The bleeding slowed and Yu Dong immediately started to sew his wound.

The new stack of cloths soon became bloody and by the time Yu Dong was finished dealing with all the injuries that was on Lang Hui's legs, his legs were no different from that of a rag doll that has been sewn a bit too many times.

The more Lang saw it the more upset she became, this was her precious son. She was worried that her son would be bullied at the brothel that's why she didn't bring him with her and left her at the Zhu mansion and that too because she was kicked out of her family.

If she had another choice then she would have taken another decision. 

By the time Yu Dong was finished treating Lang, Lang Hui's entire body was as pale as a corpse. The hue of his skin was so pale that if not for his rising and falling chest, Lang would have thought that her son was already dead.

Yu Dong put down the needle in his hand and then motioned for Lang to come with her. Lang obviously followed her without saying anything, once they reached the corner of the room, Yu Dong opened her mouth and dropped the bomb at she was keeping to herself. 

" You need to be prepared for the worst," said Yu Dong without so much as trying to be subtle, if she could she would have tried that course of action but of course there was no other option..what was she supposed to say? 

That -- I don't know how to break it to you but your son will be stuck to his bed for a very long time. 

" How worse ?" asked Lang, she already knew that even if her son managed to get out of this alive there will be some sort of damage done to her son after such a late treatment. She didn't blame Yu Dong it wasn't her fault, she has seen how hard Yu Dong and the others were working to treat her son .

If she still blamed her now, then she would be nothing but an ungrateful wretch. 

Yu Dong took a heavy breath as she chewed the inside of her cheek. " His nerves were damaged, and because of the delay in his treatment, the nerves could no longer be saved. There might be a possibility that he would have a hard time getting to his feet."

Lang sucked in a breath, this meant that her son was paralysed, wasn't it? Now what will happen to her son in the future? Who will marry him? And will Hui Hui be able to accept such a thing? Her son was a pampered little prince, he was someone with pride.

If his legs were gone how will he ever accept something like this? 

Lang had a lot of things that she wanted to ask but she couldn't because she knew that this was already the best outcome. 

She nodded her head and looked at Yu Dong before bowing to a ninety-degree in appreciation and gratitude. " Thank you, I don't know if I will ever be able to pay you back for this grace you have done to me but in the future if you ask me to hand anything to you, it will be yours. This is my word to you and I will never break it even if I have to break my spine."

Yu Dong didn't say anything, she just peered down at Lang imperiously before she turned her head away from Lang. " You know, you can do anything. This time I will back you up."

This was her word, though she wasn't kind, she would never accept a child being hurt to this degree. She could of course take the lead and deal with the Zhu family in a jiffy but that wasn't something she should be doing.

The Zhu family belonged to Lang and her family, this revenge was something that she should let Lang have it. 

This wasn't her revenge, it was Lang's. 

Lang nodded, she understood what Yu Doing was saying. She couldn't ask anything from Yu Dong, what she has done for their family was enough already. Now dealing with the Zhu family was something that she had to do it on her own. 

It would be difficult but she would definitely do it for her son. 

They have turned her son into a paralysed mer, if she doesn't make them to beg on their knees then she might not be able to face her son ever again.

" I understand," said Lang as she turned around and left the room. She needed to tell this heart-crushing news to her husband and daughter as well. 

Yu Dong watched her go and said nothing, she turned her attention to Lang Hui who was sleeping on the bed with a peaceful expression on his face. She wondered what kind of expression the little boy will have once he found out what happened to him. 

Then she looked down at her own hands that couldn't even save a child. Never before did she feel this useless, after all when she was in Apocalypse, she never once cared about the life and death of people who were around her. To her, they were just strangers and she couldn't be worried about them. 

But now that she was looking at Lang Hui who was going to have a hard life ahead of him. She couldn't help but feel that she was really weak --- really too weak.

Shen Li and Ye Liu knew what Yu Dong was thinking, so they approached her and hugged her side by side, wishing to give her their strength.

" You are not weak," said Ye Liu as he hugged her, his face pressed against her chest.

" You did your best," said Shen Li as he hugged her too.
